#weed the garden

[rantsofaveryhurtperson]

I like this idea of weeding. I haven't heard it before, but I think it'll make sense to the people.

I see the occasional piece of discourse slide past me on this website (but also in other places) that goes something like this:

Every four years the democrats tell us our democracy is in danger and we have to vote for them or else! When will the centrists liberals stop holding us hostage like this! Why don’t they fix it for once and for all?

Here’s the thing: you can’t permanently get rid of fascism. We had a WORLD WAR that killed 75 million people to try to get rid of fascism and it just keeps on popping up again. It’s a weed that will always come back because it grows in the fertile soil of human misery, and until we end human misery for good, our soils will be rich and productive for a long time. Fascism flourishes when people are scared, unhappy, and suffering, because it gives humans easy solutions to complex problems.

Anyway… We! The Royal we! Need to stop thinking of voting as one weird trick to fix things forever and start thinking of it as weeding. Every four years you’re going to have to weed this fucking garden. For the foreseeable future. Now put your gardening gloves on and get to work, otherwise you’re going to end up with a fascist garden growing nothing but the thorn bushes of oppression and subjugation.

Green-headed coneflower with some Joe Pye weed behind it just in bud. I used to know a spot where these grew together by a pond along with cardinal flower and tall meadow rue. A beautiful spot. But these are in my garden (bought from a good source, not dug from the wild).

Plant of the Day

Monday 23 December 2024

The black fruits of Sambucus ebulus (danewort, dane weed, danesblood, dwarf elder, walewort, dwarf elderberry, elderwort, blood hilder) follow the flat corymbs of small white flowers. This herbaceous, rhizomatous perennial has unbranched stems and the species has been widely used for herbal remedies.

Stellaria media, or chickweed, is often considered a nuisance or just something to throw to the chickens when found outside of its native habitat (Eurasia).

WELL I’m here to tell you that you are missing out on this actually delicious plant. It’s one of my favorite spring greens to eat raw. I pile it on top of sandwiches and use it in salads. It tastes like oak leaf lettuce with a dash of sweetness similar to corn.

Think about this FREE salad ingredient next time you’re looking at a $3 bag of wilty spring mix
